Andrew Godden 943 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 The McDonnell "Doodlebug" it is. Designed by James Smith McDonnell in 1927, and 12 years before the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation was founded. Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,315 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Nice work Dorel. Not exactly a stunning history on the Doddlebug. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Certainly an ungainly looking thing. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Certainly an ungainly looking thing.That it was and it's tail folded upward on it's initial demonstration flight. Suffice to say, only one was ever produced and McDonnell went on to bigger and better things until peacetime cut the flow of lucrative government military contracts and the inevitable mergers occurred.Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
